Multi-product links are similar to storefronts in that several items are displayed within the link. However, the difference is the additional flexibility that you have to customize content and presentation. You can create mini-storefronts that an affiliate would be able to place directly on his page, versus the standard LinkShare storefront which appears as a text link that redirects to a LinkShare-hosted page containing a full page storefront.
Below is a series of examples and templates for creating multi-product links in four different formats:
If you are fluent with HTML, you can certainly expand well beyond these, which we strongly encourage.
1. Multi-Product Link: Three Product Display - Horizontal
This link features 3 items - whether they are top sellers, new items, gift ideas, etc. is up to you - grouped together and displayed horizontally on a page. The images and text would be linked for each product. A border is provided around the entire link, but you - the merchant - can change this (not the affiliate).
Sample link:

Template 9: Multi-Product Link: Three Product Display - Horizontal (approximately 600 pixels wide)
|
To use this template:
- See the code itself for editing instructions, and please only edit the portions where prompted. These instructions are hidden from the view of the end user.
Use the LinkShare URL Escape tool as needed.
- Take your finished code and paste it into the "HTML Code - (no body or head tags )" section where you are creating this link.
